I have had a busy summer but I haven't been happy with my progress in my weightloss..

I started out at 228 and now I am only down to a grand total of 218. I am doing portion control

and it is working. I am not going to do any fad diets as they may get you down quick but lots of times you just get back to where you were before so at the end of the day it all ends up being the same...

Eat less

Proteins and veggies with min. dairy and bread

All the other stuff is basically just stuff to keep me busy ..plus there is much to be said about being

accountable..

and that is where I am at. I know I should lose about 2 lbs a week ..so that is where I am heading. So I will be sharing my progress with you my online friends. I am not going to start a weightloss group online but rather as my friends online (http://www.twitter.com/R47R http://www.Facebook.com/RuthiePople - you can usually find me here) I figure I will chat about my weight in my norm day to day plus please chat back if you are losing or not.. asbottomline I am trying to just do what I normally do and lose weight all the other things are just more work and the minute life hits I end up back to tricks eating that extra piece of cake etc.. simple eat less and be accountable. So watch me become half the woman I am .. :) May take awhile but it is happening.

To order yours please go to https://usa.aspiredrinks.com/Clay and I both have been working hard to shed those extra pounds. When I heard about Aspire I thought Wow! This sounds like a soda to lose weight! Further research showed why this would be perfect for working on my weight and health. As a backyard farmer we do a lot of research on foods to grow, and health benefits, health, animal care etc. so when I saw green tea, ginger, cranberries, and other good things I knew they were on track. We received a two week supply of Aspire to get us started. One ingredient used in the product is L-carnitine that reduces fat mass, increases muscle mass and reduces fatigue also ginger which is better than most motion sickness drugs, vitamin C and B 12 good for the skin etc. Adding the bubbles is definite plus for me as I personally found that good too for upset stomachs.We spend money on all kinds of fun things but when it comes to our health we tend to put it on the back burner- One nice thing about Aspire is that it is easily obtained by the case, etc.. A worthy investment to get yourself back in shape after the Holidays (you will hear more about this below !),Now let's get into the taste. It definitely had a wonderful flavor. The cranberry was my favorite. And speaking of cranberries many people drink cranberry juice for urinary health. The flavor was fresh and Perky- I have been complaining of being really tired lately and it was fun when people who sub to us on youtube sent me messages about this- as jokes were prevailing about my 4 hour naps! (Most likely from the weight gain and the LONG winter here in the NorthEast) If you are a subby to us on youtube http://www.youtube.com/Poplebackyardfarm you will enjoy my perkiness after getting some Aspire and will be cheering me on to get back to good health! All in all we give this a 5 out of 5 stars. You really must go to their site (listed above... got you guys traveling all over here today :) and read all the good things this product truly is a god-sent , health benefits, deals, and a challenge are all listed there after reading this review it would be a disservice if I didn't lead you there as there is so much wonderful information I think you are going to be really pleased as we were. Help us spread the word by sharing this post with your weightloss group and friends (feel free to print it off!) share on fb, twitter, yadda, :). We did receive this product for review purposes and no monies were exchanged.

I joined one of the many groups on youtube in hopes of losing my weight. Needless to say, my son got married, I had company over the summer, running and even boredom haven't gotten me closer to my goal. I do love my weight loss group and it keeps me motivated and helps me to "connect" with others who are of like mind. So what's a girl to do? Putting things in perspective always helps me out so I figure hey by next year Christmas I should be there ? Here is my diet plan a old one but it works for me3 fruitsunlimited vegetables2 breads 2 dairy3 fats 6 - 8 proteins Breakfast is a mustExercise DailyWRITE DOWN EVERYTHING THAT GOES INTO MY MOUTHand Be accountable - yep, I need my Weightloss group or I just make excuses and have no one to be accountable to.

Now, that is MY plan go talk to YOUR doctor, if you are on a weight loss plan to get a plan that works for you. I have had a doctor recommend the Atkin's diet for me in the past too. Planning ! Planning! Planning! Plan your meals don't let them be a "surprise" . Even if you have to put all your little meals in containers and learn to not feel guilty when people encourage you to eat outside of your plan. Keep your eye focused on the new healthier you! and finally pray ! Don't get discouraged if you fall down - get right back up and start on the program again. If you sit in self- guilt for a day it's going to be that much harder to get up.. so IMMEDIATELY Get back on your weightloss plan! Get motivated and hang out with others who are on your side and agreeing with you to get healthy. If you have to hang tiny motivational cards around the house , tape them to the fridge, and get something busy to do (I crochet) when you feel like you are going to munch. If you find you are emotionally eating hold in your stomach take a deep breath, grab a glass of water ( or not) and set a timer and grab something you like to do crochet, read a book, something to get your mind on something else. You can do it!

I was so tempted to indulge in some ice cream, namely the Peanut Butter chocolate ice cream sitting in my freezer. You may wonder what am I doing with ice cream when I am on a diet! Simple. I am looking for a lifestyle change.. really, what am I going to do if everytime I see Ice Cream I HAVE TO EAT IT? I do agree there are times we have to cut off things completely (namely soda!) but ice cream is something that can be healthy it just has to be served in moderation. You are allowed a baby cone... In fact you can eat just about everything... only as a "BABY PORTION" . If you wouldn't give it to a baby and I mean the smallest baby that can start to eat solid food.. then you should stop before you eat it "BABY YOURSELF" Portion control and eating good food the closest way God made is all good. Make everything a baby portion and you will be on your way to losing those extra pounds!
